With the launch of the new version of "Legend", participating in novel and interesting sect battles, learning from Su Qin, Zhang Yi and others to join forces between sects, or go shirtless to fight directly to the front line of sect battles, or to explore mysterious special maps, these have become new choices for players. Since then, every weekend, Legends has become a source of war, and the relationships between the various factions have continued to diverge and merge in the process, while some players have traveled through the mysterious map to discover the secrets hidden in between.

The popularity of "Legend" is not good news for other online games, relying on online gathering activities to increase the popularity of "King of Kings" has to face the loss of players again, Li Riyuan, the general manager of Tianxia Huacai, is worried all day long, his Internet café promotion plan is not successful, spent some money, but can not bring back much income, now he can only pin his hopes on the one hand to urge Lei Jue to launch a new version of "King of Kings" as soon as possible, improve "King of Kings" On the other hand, he is also considering whether to hold another online gathering, and how effective it will be if an online gathering is held.

The boring and boring leveling process of "Network Three Kingdoms" made many players lose patience to continue, and the number of online users plummeted, and Feng Huazhu, general manager of Zhiguan Electronics Beijing Company, had to contact the headquarters immediately to urgently add some new play points to "Network Three Kingdoms". For example, practitioners that used to be only available in five cities are now everywhere, and the previous NPCs could only recover every five minutes, but now it has been reduced to once every three minutes, in order to reduce the waiting time for players during the leveling process. Even PK has been adjusted to a certain extent, as long as PK has a certain number of people, a pig's head logo will appear on the top of the player's head, which may be everyone's "pig".

Dr. Hu of Uchia Ketong is very annoyed now, under his wise leadership, of course, this is inseparable from the more wise leadership of the boss Lee Seung-jae, and now "Dark Light" only has double-digit online numbers left, so that Dr. Hu had to invent a new word "maximum number of online people", that is, all users who have been online in a day are added, even including the login of the same person at different times, so after some artistic processing, when it was reported to Lee Seung-jae, "Dark Light" The maximum number of people online went to over 100, and then when it appeared in the press release, Dark Light went to over 1,000 people online, and looking forward to the future of Dark Light, it was wonderful.

Perhaps only Chen Hongzhan of Arctic Ice and Zhou Chenghu of Beijing Huayi can remain calm now, Chen Hongzhan is not in a hurry because the agency fee of "Millennium" is not high, and the game is still being Chinese Simplified. Zhou Chenghu believes that "Stone Age" and "Legend" are completely two types of games, and the potential user groups are also very different, so he thinks that no matter how popular "Legend" is, it will not affect the future market of "Stone Age", and it is even possible that because "Legend" has developed a market, it will bring more potential users of "Stone Age".

Under the watchful eyes of many people with various moods, "Legend" continues to develop its own market in an orderly manner, and the domestic online game market has gradually become more active.

……

Time slowly came to the middle of December, and the news that DreamBox128 sold more than 67 million units worldwide made Yamauchi Pu, who had been sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, finally unable to stand it, and he made a special trip to the intelligence development headquarters where Miyamoto Shigeru worked, to see where their game development progress had come.

In fact, Nintendo's next-generation game console NGC's hardware research and development work has been basically completed, and the comprehensive development headquarters responsible for research and development work was transferred to NGC's game accessories development at this time under the leadership of Genhiro Takeda, Yamauchi Pu and a group of directors at Nintendo's headquarters in order to continue to make a lot of profits from the N64, and also hope to delay the payment of royalties to Panasonic, after all, it has been many years that only Nintendo has collected royalties from others, and has never given it out, so Yamauchi Pu deliberately postponed NGC's listing plan, of course, the excuse he gave was perfectAfter all, it's impossible for NGC not to prepare enough games to support it when it goes public.

But the speed of change in the form of the market is too fast,It's a bit too much for Yamauchi Pu to react,First of all, DreamBox128 has taken the lead in the unconventional direct global promotion,Sony computer entertainment's PS2 is not very smooth,But it has also moved towards the international market,And Yamauchi Pu's high hopesN64 has already been declining at this time,Although the cost of cassette media has been much lower than before,Although Nintendo has made great efforts to prepare a lot of masterpieces,But N64The sales of game consoles and games are still declining,Even N64 game consoles have successively offered the magic weapon of price reduction does not workYamauchi had no choice but to turn his attention to NGC, which was temporarily refrigerated.

Yamauchi Pu looked at Shigeru Miyamoto standing in front of him, and asked solemnly, "Miyamoto-kun, how are you preparing?"

Shigeru Miyamoto's face changed slightly, he had actually received some rumors before, originally according to the plan, Nintendo would first launch GBA to consolidate the monopoly of the portable handheld market, and then launch NGC, and use the linkage plan between GBA and NGC to promote. However, the N64 has gradually weakened and can no longer support this blank period, DreamBox128 is still expanding rapidly, and even the PS2 has been sold to overseas markets, Miyamoto Shigeru estimates that the company's top management may not be able to hold on, but he didn't expect this day to come so quickly.

"President Yamauchi, our next generation 'Mario' is still in the early stages of development, and it will definitely not be able to produce a finished product in the short term, perhaps only the "Louie's Haunted House" planned by Konino-kun will be faster, and the development progress has reached 75%......" Shigeru Miyamoto certainly knew what Yamauchi wanted to ask, so he also answered very simply.

"Hmm......" Yamauchi pondered for a moment, and he remembered the young man Shigeru Miyamoto had said, Hideki Konno. In fact, Hideki Konno is not a newcomer, he remembers that Hideki Konno seems to have joined Nintendo more than ten years ago, but he has always cooperated with others in the past, and this production of "Louie's Haunted House" is the first time that Hideki Konno has served as the chief designer.

Pu Yamauchi remembers that he saw the development screen and game materials of "Louie's Haunted House" at the beginning of the year, and the game did not use Mario as the main character, but promoted the 10,000-year-old bench, Mario's brother Louis to play the starring role, and even the game mode was completely different from the previous "Mario" series. Louie's main props in the game are vacuum cleaners and flashlights, first use the flashlight to fix the ghost, and then take down the ghost through the "suction" and "spray" of the vacuum cleaner, which is a bit like an old movie "Ghostbusters". To make the game more fun, Hideki Konno also introduces elements such as water and fire, which, according to him, can be used to solve both difficult ghosts and puzzles.

From Yamauchi's point of view, "Louie's Haunted House" is undoubtedly still very interesting, Konno Hideki even put forward the idea of game 3D, the so-called game 3D is not the current common plane simulation 3D, but the real 3D game screen that can be seen through the eyes, but considering the current lack of necessary display equipment (3D TV and the like), Yamauchi Pu vetoed Konno Hideki's unreliable idea, but for Konno Hideki to continue to develop "Louie's Haunted House", Yamauchi Pu is still very supportive.

Thinking of this, Yamauchi Pu instructed Miyamoto Shigeru in an unquestionable tone: "Miyamoto-kun, I don't care what method you use, whether it is adding people or changing people, I will give you a month, and you must complete "Louie's Haunted House". ”

"In this case, the degree of completion may be ......" Shigeru Miyamoto tried to buy some more time, but as soon as he saw Yamauchi's frosty face, his voice unconsciously decreased.

"Miyamoto-kun, I've always believed in you, and this time is no exception!" Yamauchi Pu suddenly became very kind again, patted Miyamoto Shigeru on the shoulder, and said in a tone full of expectation: "Miyamoto-kun, Nintendo's future life and death are all up to you." ”

Shigeru Miyamoto sighed slightly in his heart, and could only reluctantly agree, he also knew that this might really be a matter of life and death for Nintendo......

After arranging Shigeru Miyamoto's intelligence development headquarters, Yamauchi's eyes turned to North America again, and now the Japanese market has almost been divided by DreamBox128 and PS2, but there is still some room for overseas markets, after all, after the original N64 failed miserably in the Japanese market, it has risen again from the North American market, and Yamauchi Pu has the heart to replicate the original success again, hoping that NGC can create miracles like the original N64.

But in this case, can the personnel adjustment of the North American company continue, Yamauchi Pu is a little hesitant, he knows the strengths of his son-in-law, although he is a bit big-hearted, but in terms of pioneering and adventurous spirit, the entire Nintendo may not be able to surpass it, if Minoru Arakawa is used to be in charge of NGC's North American marketing, maybe it can really create a miracle again. However, Yamauchi Pu did not want Arakawa Minoru to continue in North America, according to his vision, the future Nintendo is likely to enter a difficult period, and the helmsman needs to be calm and pragmatic, but not easy to take risks, which is also the main reason why Yamauchi Pu gradually alienated Arakawa Minoru.

Now, if Minoru Arakawa is used again for the release of NGC, Yamauchi is very worried that he will no longer be able to suppress the brilliance of his son-in-law, and if Minoru Arakawa takes advantage of the success of NGC's sale to re-enter the board of directors, his personnel adjustment plan will no longer be able to continue, and it may become more difficult to completely control Nintendo North America.

At this moment, Yamauchi couldn't help but hesitate......
